I doubt it would happen but Lachie Murphy played almost exclusively midfield/on the ball for the Northern Knights and won their B & F in 2016 playing only 10 TAC Cup games with school footy commitments at Ivanhoe Grammar. Lachie's looked pretty good in the SANFL when he's been given minutes in the midfield winning the inside ball and dishing it out to the runners but I guess we then lose his forward pressure.It gets annoying hearing Bickley in particular talking down our young players every chance he gets. He constantly talks down the likes of Berg and Fog and always backs the senior player, even if their form is poor. He would have been a shocking coach.
I'd like to see Stengle come in, but doubt they want three small forwards who can't roll through the midfield.
ONE of the smallest players on the Northern Knights list stood tallest at the TAC Cup club’s awards night on Saturday.
Inside midfielder Lachlan Murphy was crowned the 2016 Brent Harvey best-and-fairest on the back of a sterling season.
The 173cm former Diamond Creek junior averaged 27 disposals and almost six tackles from 10 TAC Cup games while juggling school football commitments with Ivanhoe Grammar.
“He rarely gets beaten in a one-on-one contest, in fact he probably wins a lot of 70-30 ball. He marks well above his head, he’s strong around the stoppages with clearances and he’s a goalkicker.
“So he really ticks a lot of boxes. He is height challenged against other opponents but he continually finds a way.”
A member of the Knights’ leadership group, Murphy polled 84 votes to win the award from fellow midfielder Luke Bunker (78 votes) and rebounding defender Mason Blakey (75 votes).
“Lachie’s had doors shut in his face all year, with things like missing Vic Metro,” Northern Knights coach Andrew Shakespeare said.
“And playing school footy he hasn’t had that consistency. But every time he’s stepped out on the field he’s got better with each performance.
Atkins running around getting no possessions for 3 1/2 quarters. FMD.I can see why Berg looked buggered. On the Afl app, match day tracker, he covered the equal most distance in the team (14.4 Km). The other person is Atkins.
Atkins also covered more ground at high speed than any other player (3.1 km).
Food for thought.
I would bring in McAdam, McHenry, Stengle, Knight Jenkins.Plenty of rain about this weekend. Would it be worthwhile going small and dropping Himmelberg for Ned and leaving Jenkins out as well? Surely one of our bigger mids could pinch-hit in the ruck?

Lynch Walker Ned
Stengle Greenwood Mcadam.
Betts rested.
Gallucci dropped
Murphy dropped
Could also bring in knight to tag yep. Would drop Gibbs orAtkins for knight.
You using the stats to make a decision on Douglas.He was also talking as though Douglas was a lock to come in. Dougie had a paltry 13 disposals in the SANFL. Even our top up players get more of the ball than that.
Hickey and Vardy are beatable if you have a good ruck combination to combat them failing that West Coasts midfield will tear us apart if we allow those two to dominate.Plenty of rain about this weekend.

Thankfully Hart doesn't have final say on selection. Pyke does. I watched the game. Douglas is no chance. Seedsman did some good stuff but looks a run short in the sanfl.He was also talking as though Douglas was a lock to come in. Dougie had a paltry 13 disposals in the SANFL.

AgreeI don’t think we should drop him, but I think the club will drop him.
Players like Seedsman and even Douglas only need a game or two to run the cobwebs out,Thankfully Hart doesn't have final say on selection. Pyke does. I watched the game. Douglas is no chance. Seedsman did some good stuff but looks a run short in the sanfl.

Yea I would be looking at Seeds for Kelly just to get that mix better,If i'm dropping players for Seed and Matt I think its Kelly and Rat that are on the block. Kelly retained his place after Brown was brought back in, which is commendable, but it feels like we are running with 1 too many lock down types, and in turn keeping out a midfielder unnecessarily. And Brown is clearly the better player if we need to pick 1 for that small to medium lock down defender role!
Rat's form has been up and down, and while there are things I like, its still not reliable enough. Plus for me Seed is our best wingman, with daylight in second place. So regardless of how Rat is performing Seed at his best is again a clear upgrade and should be getting the games!
Douglas should not be coming in under any circumstances, but I fear he will be in. 13 possessions in the SANFL means he needs at least a few more weeks - at least.
I'm thinking we need to hold our nerve on Gooch. Seems to be fast approaching whipping boy status in here, but for me I'm inclined to give him a big slab of games to get his form going. Contrary to popular opinion I think he offers plenty with his attacking style and speed. And now he's going through the midfield a bit more we may actually see it!Yea I would be looking at Seeds for Kelly just to get that mix better,
If it's based on Form then its Atkins base on last week. Either way both should be looking over there shoulder with Milera coming back. As MacKay doing the right things so far.
With Matt it has to be Gallucci.
While I would like to as I would prefer Gooch on the wing, I cannot see them dropping Jones or Atkins for Matt, next in line for matt is Gibbs, Greenwood or CEYI'm thinking we need to hold our nerve on Gooch.
